abstract: 'Long-standing literature argues that social capital is closely
implicated in labour market outcomes. However, this hypothesis has yet
to be tested in Latin America, the most unequal region in the world. We
focus on Chile, one of the most stratified countries in Latin America.
This study examines the relationship between social capital and four
measures of status attainment, including job prestige and employment
income. We use data from the first wave of the Longitudinal Social Study
of Chile (ELSOC), a representative survey of the Chilean urban
population aged 18-75 years. We analyse a subsample of 1,351 individuals
who are currently employed. A Bayesian model of over-dispersion with
relational data is used to estimate the size of the network, a novel
measure of social capital. We analyse the data set using linear and
logistic regression models and a complementary path analysis, first
estimating models for the entire sample, and then splitting the sample
into three groups to evaluate differences within individuals''
socioeconomic background. Results indicate that contacts'' occupational
prestige has a positive association with job prestige and employment
income, while the size of the network increases individuals'' salaries
and labour participation. We also observe that social capital flows
through stratified networks which tend to favour individuals from high
socioeconomic backgrounds. We discuss the need to conduct more in-depth
evaluations of how better creation of social capital and its effects on
status attainment could be closely linked to positions of privilege and
advantage accumulation processes in highly unequal contexts.'
